I have been
reading the book "On Combat" by LTC (ret) Dave Grossman. On the right
hand sidebar of this site, you will find a picture of the cover and a
link to a review of the book.
Earlier today, I was poking around a website, and came across this link "Battle Mind Training" which can be found on this website Veterans Information. You will find a great deal more information on this page where the link to Battle Mind Training is found. There is a great deal of information here for OIF/OEF veterans or those looking for information about issues related to the service of OIF/OEF veterans.
I
was interested in the fact that the book "On Combat" deals with the
very same subject as this link for Battle Mind Training. Not that it
is unusual, but it was it is interesting in the fact that it confirms
what I have been reading about from an independent source.
This is an excellent book, at
least from my perspective as one who has never been in the military, or
served as a law enforcement officer. I am not so sure I would
recommend this book to the average reader who just wants to get an
inside look at what happens in the heat of battle. It is quite intense in parts. So why am I, an
average person, reading this book?
I converse with many veterans
daily, and while there is no way I can ever understand what they are or
have gone through, it gives me a glimpse into their world. Only a
glimpse!
For a complete review of this book, go here! This review is from a veteran, who has been there and knows the truth about combat of which this book speaks. About the reactions their bodies and minds go through in the heat of battle and afterwords.
Do you know someone who is being deployed for the first time? This would be an excellent book for them to read! It has been recommended by WOTN another of our veterans. He also speaks very highly of this book. You can follow the link on our sidebar to order your copy. With the holidays just around the corner, now is a good time to get a copy of "On Combat."
